Exploring Minneapolis Northwest by Bicycle

Exploring Minneapolis Northwest by Bicycle

The Twin Cities are a cyclist's paradise.

Minneapolis was recently ranked the most bike-friendly city in the nation, thanks to its extensive trail system and protected bike lanes. That also includes an excellent network of trails that run through Minneapolis Northwest!

Two of the best bike spots in Minneapolis Northwest are Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park in Brooklyn Park and Elm Creek Park Reserve in Maple Grove. EAch park on their own has miles of trails to explore, but the parks also make excellent jumping off points to explore all of Hennepin County! Here are two suggested routes: first, a more leisurly distance, and second a route for the more experienced rider looking to log some serious miles while in the area.
